Distance from saddle to handlebars
The saddle of your home trainer can also be adjusted horizon-
tally (according to the model). To do this loosen the screws
underneath the saddle and slide the saddle forwards or back-
wards down the bar, depending on your body height.
Tilting the handlebars
The tilt of the handlebars of your home trainer can be adjusted.
Loosen the screws underneath the cockpit and set it in the
optimum position. Then tighten the screws again so that the
handlebars do not slip!!
Training variations
In order to increase the strain on the thigh and buttock muscles,
emphasise your steps on the pedals. In order to achieve increased
training of the back of the thighs, emphasise pulling the pedals
with the loop upwards.
Furthermore you will have the opportunity to simulate a mountain
ascent with high pedal resistance. In this training the stomach and
back muscles, upper body and shoulder muscles will be included
as well as leg muscles.

Training recommendation
Always remember the stretching exercises afterwards in
order to avoid injuries and muscle ache.
